Apple, I didn’t expect this from you... I recently had a very unpleasant experience trying to cancel my AppleCare annual subscription, which I purchased two years ago while living in Germany. What should have been a simple process turned into a frustrating journey. Here’s what happened: ❌ I tried cancelling via Apple’s website—my subscription wasn’t listed. ❌ I checked the MacBook settings—again, the subscription wasn’t listed. ❌ I went to "checkcoverage" page —the subscription was listed there but couldn’t be cancelled. It redirected me back to my Apple account, where the subscription was still not listed 😤 . To make things easier, I contacted Apple Support via chat and spent over an hour explaining the issue. The support representative couldn’t help and referred me to another team via a toll-free number. The number? Invalid. I tried multiple times, no luck. They then connected me to a team in Germany. Unfortunately, the representative there had issues with his system and couldn’t lodge my complaint or schedule a callback. He promised to fix everything after restarting his machine. Seriously, even Microsoft windows works nowadays without needing a restart! Later, he emailed me saying they couldn’t assist because India isn’t on their list of supported callback countries. ❌ Another surprise: Apple doesn’t have a customer care email ID where I can track my request. After three days of back and forth, I still don’t know how to cancel this subscription. My last resort is to ask my bank to cancel the SEPA mandate. Apple, your products are world-class, but your customer service is far from it (at least in India). I expected much better support from a trillion-dollar company.

India is their biggest customer but its painful to see their comment saying India is not in their supported/call back countries. Weird!!!!!
